A unique twist on the classic French pastry, these savory beet macarons combine earthy beetroot and creamy goat cheese for a delightful appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup beet puree
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the almond flour and powdered sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the beet puree into the whipped egg whites. Then, fold in the almond flour mixture until well combined.
  5. Using a piping bag, pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow the piped circles to sit for about 30 minutes to form a skin.
  6. Bake the macarons for 18-20 minutes, or until they lift easily off the parchment. Let them cool completely.
  7. For the filling, mix the goat cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Pipe the filling onto half of the macarons and top with the other halves.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes
